Plovdiv 2019 Foundation, through its Legacy programme, announces two open calls for projects, festivals and creative activities to ensure the sustainability of the European Capital of Culture project in the city.

“DeuS – European Open Design School for Sustainable Regional Development”, a project funded by the Erasmus + program, is coming to life. An international Vocational Educational Training project which aims to co-create a European-wide learning and training approach in design, critical thinking, and entrepreneurship to find creative and cost-effective solutions to local challenges, by unlocking the potential of the cultural and creative sector.

After tumultuous 2020 Plovdiv 2019 announces the coming fourth edition of the Hills of Rock festival in 2021. Three days, three scenes and thousands of fans.
